Incident In Alaska ADIZ “Dangerous And Unprofessional”
An Air Force F-16 conducting a routine intercept of a Russian Tu-95 off the coast of Alaska and within the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) was cut off by a very close “headbutt” maneuver by a Su-35 fighter. Video and still images show the dramatic incident in what the Air Force called an unsafe encounter and that the Russian aviator’s actions were “unprofessional and endangered all.”
